Ivy Preparatory Academy

WARNING:DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE if you care about their academic future. My daughter just wrapped up her second year here Lots of empty promise and smoke and mirror routines of what the parents should expect academically. The school day is 1hr longer and there isn't any type of second languages, P.E. or anything outside of the general mandatory classes. There is also an immense about of fights that are kept hush hush amongst the staff and students. This will leave your child overwhelmed and no longer enthused about school as it has done mines. I have watch this school pretend to be a "junior college" but its more of a publicity stunt. I entered the Ivy world exited but I am leaving disappointed as school is a intricate part of a child's life development and college preparation. DON'T SEND YOUR CHILD HERE.

Ivy prep has dedicated teachers that go above and beyond for their students. The one problem I have is the school SEVERE resources. If you have a kid who is gifted you need to stay away from this school. If you have a kid who is into music, arts, drama, sports you really need to re-think your decision. The school does not offer anything that a regular public school can't offer. In fact they can't even offer half of what a regular school can give you. You have to be very careful when you attend one of their meetings. They are VERY GOOD selling their school concept to newcomers. When you go to their meetings they always mention the end of the year field trip to New York ( a gimmick, this is run by a Smithsonian Travel and is SUPER EXPENSIVE). I swear I feel that I was brainwashed. All those testimonials from parents..blah. If you ask me I deeply regret my decision to put my scholar here. Ivy Prep is average at it's best. Regarding the "challenging" curriculum I have personally seen it and trust me is nothing extraordinary. I give them an A + in School Spirit, a B - in curriculum, a C in facilities and a D - when it comes to school extracurriculars.

This a great school of CHOICE for the most difficult years of a young girls' life based on the schools' core values and curriculum. I can see where they challenge the scholars academically and assist them in being responsible & more importantly respectable young ladies. I am impressed to see that they outperformed their peers within the county on the CRCT tests. That alone shows the dedication of the Teachers, Parents and, the Scholars particularly thru all of the challenges they've had to endure. I love Ivy Prep Academy! I'm pretty sure if other public schools had to go thru the same exact pitfalls they would not be as successful when against all odds.
